Pros

I can't find any at all.

Cons

Be prepared to be lied to by HR when you go through the interview and hiring process. Be prepared to be told you get pay raises, but you do not. Be prepared to be told you have a work life balance, but they are taking those opportunities away from everyone. Be prepared to be told moving within the company is easy, but it's not. This company acts like they hold high values, but they do not. Be prepared to feel like your job is in jeopardy everyday and to be threatened or sexually harassed if you don't feel out an "anonymous" survey. Be prepared to "work overtime" but never get paid for it. If you are hourly, it's not approved. If you are salary, you are going to be working 50+ hours a week. The company is a joke. My best advice is to run away and don't look back. You will regret your decision to EVER work with Swiss Re.

Pros

The people you work with are amazing. The benefits are wonderful. I appreciate the bonus structure and the growth I've experienced with the organization.

Cons

Leadership's strategy and vision are severely lacking and self-serving. There's a lot of favoritism with the same people being included in decision-making without consideration for their ability to actually deliver results. In turn, the lower-level employees are left to clean up the disaster. I see that Swiss is on here making comments on employee reviews - hopefully they take note of how many people in the last 90 days said the same thing about the leadership strategy. We're not on glassdoor because we like reviewing our company - we're here looking for outside opportunities because of the way the company is currently operating. We're bleeding good talent because they no longer align with the corporate strategy.
